Gabriel P. Andrade-Ponce
Colombian biologist graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and Master of Science from the Instituto de Ecología A.C. in Xalapa, Mexico. Currently I am a doctoral student at the Instituto de Ecología A.C. I have focused my work on the use of statistical models and particularly hierarchical models to understand the processes that affect species abundance, distribution and co-occurrence. Likewise, I use quantitative tools to respond to monitoring and conservation objectives of species in different parts of Latin America. I enjoy teaching, so I have organized and collaborated in different courses and workshops on statistical modeling and use of R language for ecologists (undergraduate students, graduate students and practicioners).
